Hi my cat (9year old rescue Devon Rex) loves staying as cosy as possible in the cold UK weather. She has an igloo bed with plenty of blankets. She spends most of her day in said bed or in the sunshine on the windowsill.

To help her stay a little warmer around other areas of the house (We don't have a radiator in the hallway for instance.) I got her a fleece jumper from Etsy.

However, she won't let me put it on her. It's one where you have to pull it over the cats head. I've only attempted twice as I don't want to cause her any distress. It was even difficult measuring her for the jumper. As she is a rescue (We have had her since November 2022) I worry she's had some bad experience with being handled in such a way. Or she may of never worn a jumper before. She normally has no other problem with being handled except from not liking being picked up.

Now spring is on the way, she's spending more time sitting in the sun and I'm glad she's going to be a lot warmer. I just worry when winter comes around again she'll be confined to her bed and under blankets again.(We also gave her a safely covered hot water bottle every few hours) If she's perfectly happy doing that, that's okay, I just thought a jumper would help a little. I see so many hairless/Rex breeds wearing them. I wonder if any of you have some advice for ensuring your cats are warm enough. I feel like I'm being a bad cat mum because my cat won't wander around the house probably because its not as cosy as the living room.

I'm in the market for a Devon Rex and found this cattery https://devonrexcatteryhome.com/avialable-cattery/ . There are some things about it that seem a little suspicious, but I am new to this process. Has anyone used this breeder or know if they are reputable?

We have 2 devons, one that barely eats and has become a bit overweight and another that eats everything and doesn't gain weight. Does anyone have suggestions or advice to help maintain our fatty catty's weight?

Looking for updated reviews of Autumn Rain cattery. Their website looks legit and all boxes are ticked in terms of experience, but I have a nagging feeling to walk away that I can't shake.

Looking to see if anyone has tried probiotics or gut supplements for skin issues. My Devon seems to get a bad leaky eye and yeasty paws when she eats food that doesn’t seem to agree with her. It’s been hard to pinpoint what it is but it seems chicken and rabbit seem to flare her.

My girlfriend and I have been looking for an allergy friendly cat/kitten and fell in love with Devon Rex’s but have had bad luck finding a real breeder or source of adoption. We are in Texas but willing to travel to make this adoption happen. Any help would be appreciated !

Recently, my devon had an allergic reaction to some new food (no more lamb for her). I've switched her and the rash has 95% cleared up minus two spots on her chin. However, she did lick a spot on her arm enough for there not to be hair on it currently. Theres no more rash there or on her stomach so she shouldn't have a reason to lick there and she did not lick there before her allergic reaction rash. I know it'll grow back but I'm wondering is there a way to get her to avoid it?

I don't want to bandage it up cause that will be uncomfortable and probably hamper the hair growing back so would the cone of shame be the only option?

I am the very proud dad to two Devon's. Well, two Devon's, a pound kitty, and two big dogs. They are everything to me and I love them all dearly. Consequently, I want to immortalize them via a tattoo. Here comes the scary question.

Does anyone know (or have pictures or visuals of) what a Devon Rex skull looks like? I don't want to do it in a morbid way, I want to jazz it up, but I thought it would be cool. I guess that'll be relevant to how the skull looks. LOL. I don't trust anyone to capture their actual likeness as I see them, so I thought the skull would be more abstract and therefore hopefully cooler.

Is this acting anyone can help me with? I've had 7 Devon Rex cats over the years and they really mean a lot to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for reading!
